Happy Halloween
Hey all. Hope everyone has a great Halloween. In case you're interested, KO is going as Barbie and I am donning some nerd gear- and yes, I had to buy a kit.
Have fun all. Good Luck in the Week 9 poll.

A Good Day Spoiled.....
Well, everything was going good yesterday @ about 6:45 ET. The Chiefs were winning with 3 minutes left, the Rams were cruising, the Cottonmouths season opener ended in victory on a shootout, and Buffalo beat Houston. Then 4 hours later, everything collapsed. Chiefs lose, Cards lose, and I honestly don't understand how they lost these games. Overmanagement and, more importantly, poor execution are the only explanations for blowing these games. Oh well.
The Cards have a long road to go. Good Luck to them. I honestly believe if they can win this game, they have a better than average chance. To be continued....

Blues rumor
Here's an interesting rumor with perhaps some validity....Al Morganti of ESPN.com writes that the Blues could be going after McLaren and/or Dafoe of the Bruins. Interesting since neither Salvador nor Nash has yet to dress for the Note. Could these guys be trade bait for McLaren?
Plus, with Brathwaite playing poorly and G Curtis Sanford getting the call to STL [up from Worchester], It looks like GM Larry Pleau is positioning for a deal. The plot thickens...

Droppin' the Puck
The NHL season faces off its 86th season. Glad to have the boys of winter back, even if my team isn't expected to do well.

Things just got interesting in STL
A old-fashioned donnybrook just about broke out at the Cards-Giants game 1. Hopefully, this lights a fire under a lethargic Cards team in the NLCS. Stay tuned.
